I'm sorry, I'm not all that knowledged about computers.

How do I create a Virtual Machine? And what did you mean by 'a more recent one'?

Again, sorry!

By "recent one", I mean a computer that is less old and therefore that might have better hardware/specs than the one that you are currently using !In order to create a Virtual Machine, you need a VM Software (like VirtualBox or VMware Player) and after creating (setting up) the VM, you need to install an OS (Operating System on it), in that case, Windows XP SP2 using the .iso that you have.

I have a desktop computer that runs windows vista (32-bit). Could that work?

It depends of it's specs. How much RAM and what CPU does it have if you know what I'm talking about ?
